1017 error
There is the possibility for a 1017 error if the following conditions are met:
1. You never activated your account.
2. You logged into a server using an inactive account not knowing it was a bug, the login server should not have allowed the login to an account that was inactive.
3. Your account was deleted because it was never activated.
4. You created a new account with the same name as the old one.
5. You try to login to the same server you did before your account was deleted, only to get a 1017 error.
Because the world server checks the users login server id along with their account name, whenever you signed up for the second time and got a new login id, it wont match the one that the server has in its database, so it will reject the connection. The fix is pretty easy.
Note: This is for server admins with database access.
Say the persons account name was Bob.
Update account set name='OLDBob' where name='Bob';
Have the person login. To restore their characters and stuff:
Select lsaccount_id from account where name='Bob';
Write that down.
Delete from account where name='Bob';
Update account set lsaccount_id=(WHATEVER ID YOU GOT FROM THE ABOVE SELECT QUERY),name='Bob' where name='OLDBob';
Thats it, it should work fine after that.
